Last, but certainly not least, CC is loving this beautiful book: Classic Beauty, The History of Makeup by Gabriela Hernandez, available at schifferbooks.com. This terrific tome is full of gorgeous glossy photos and amazing anecdotes and revelations about why and how women have painted their faces for thousands of years. CC especially enjoys all the vintage ads. Treat yourself to a copy; you will not be disappointed!
